      <summary><![CDATA[Entrepreneur and researcher Damaris Nightingale launches a new podcast examining the many roles humans embody, the &#34;One Self&#34; that connects them, and the intersection of science, technology, spirituality, and human consciousness.]]></summary>
      <description><![CDATA[<article id="newsworthy_pr" data-bcuuid="7854376929a7402dbb3c374377f352e3">Fort Lauderdale, FL (Newsworthy.ai) Wednesday Jul  8, 2026 @ 8:00 AM Eastern — <img src="https://us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/cdn.newsramp.app/images/2601-1783443242009.jpg" style="float: right; margin-left: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;" /><p>After more than three decades leading enterprise technology initiatives, entrepreneur, researcher, and speaker Damaris Nightingale is launching <em>My Many Selves</em>, a new podcast exploring consciousness, psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, spirituality, olfactory therapy, health, and the human experience.</p>
<p>Designed for listeners interested in self-awareness, personal transformation, and the deeper nature of consciousness, <em>My Many Selves</em> offers thoughtful conversations that do not require audiences to choose between scientific inquiry and a sense of wonder. Instead, the podcast invites curiosity, discernment, and intellectual humility.</p>
<p>At the center of <em>My Many Selves</em> is Nightingale&rsquo;s original framework for understanding the universal selves people experience throughout life: the physical self, sexual self, emotional self, mental self, and spiritual self. The podcast also explores the archetypes through which these selves are expressed in relationships, purpose, identity, creativity, and everyday decision-making.</p>
<p>Together, these elements form a practical roadmap for understanding the many dimensions of the human experience and the deeper consciousness connecting them.</p>
<p>&ldquo;My career taught me to value systems, logic, and evidence, and those values remain central to my work,&rdquo; said Damaris Nightingale, creator and host of <em>My Many Selves</em>. &ldquo;What changed was the realization that science is one extraordinary way of knowing, but it may not be the only one.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The podcast was born from Nightingale&rsquo;s observation that people often live as though they are only one fixed identity, while in reality, they experience themselves differently depending on their emotions, relationships, roles, environments, and depth of consciousness.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Most of us live as though we are only one person, yet we experience ourselves very differently depending on the moment and our level of awareness,&rdquo; Nightingale said. &ldquo;My goal has never been to replace science, but to expand the conversation.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Unlike podcasts that separate psychology, health, technology, spirituality, and neuroscience into isolated categories, <em>My Many Selves</em> examines how these disciplines interact in daily life. Episodes will explore topics including emotional regulation, decision-making, intuition, synchronicity, dreams, expanded states of consciousness, artificial intelligence, life after death, and the evolving relationship between intelligence and consciousness.</p>
<p>Each episode draws from a blend of disciplines and lived experience, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Psychology and neuroscience</li>
<li>Artificial intelligence and technology</li>
<li>Philosophy and contemplative traditions</li>
<li>Olfactory therapy and health</li>
<li>Spirituality and consciousness studies</li>
<li>Personal transformation and lived experience</li>
</ul>
<p><em>My Many Selves</em> is intended to serve as a safe and thoughtful space for conversations many people hesitate to have publicly. Rather than promoting simple belief or skepticism, the podcast encourages listeners to explore complex questions with openness, critical thinking, and respect.</p>
<h3>About Damaris Nightingale</h3>
<p>Damaris Nightingale is an entrepreneur, researcher, and speaker whose work bridges consciousness, psychology, olfactory therapy, health, technology, and human development. After more than 30 years leading enterprise technology initiatives, Nightingale brings a systems-based perspective to the study of self-awareness, spirituality, science, and the many dimensions of human consciousness.</p>
<h3>About My Many Selves</h3>
<p><em>My Many Selves</em> is a podcast exploring consciousness, psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, spirituality, health, olfactory therapy, and the human experience. Hosted by Damaris Nightingale, the podcast offers a new way of understanding the many selves people embody, the experiences that shape them, and the &ldquo;One Self&rdquo; that connects them. <em>My Many Selves</em> invites listeners to expand awareness, explore new senses and faculties, and approach life&rsquo;s deeper questions without choosing between science and wonder.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<article id="newsworthy_pr" data-bcuuid="ee65eaf0e8434912b8adffcb4b18543c">Harrisburg, PA (Newsworthy.ai) Tuesday Feb  6, 2024 @ 10:47 AM Eastern — <img src="https://cdn.newsramp.app/images/co-682-1142-1773694710474.png" style="float: right; margin-left: 1rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;" /><p>CannabisRadio.com has launched a limited series podcast titled "Planting Seeds," with the aim of educating and enlightening the citizens of Pennsylvania, policymakers, and the business community. This initiative comes in the wake of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro's Budget address, which proposed the legalization of recreational marijuana. "Planting Seeds" is distinguished by the involvement of <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://www.senatorsharifstreet.com/">Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street</a>, marking the first time a legislator has co-hosted a podcast focused on cannabis. He is joined by <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joehodas/">Joe Hodas</a>, the Chief Marketing Officer of Wana Brands, in leading discussions that navigate the complexities and potential of cannabis legalization.<br></p><p>The limited series will be available on all major podcast portals including but not limited to Apple Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Podcasts, and CannabisRadio.com's mobile apps.<br></p><p>Today’s Pennsylvania Budget Address saw Governor Josh Shapiro propose adult-use marijuana legalization effective July 1, 2024, which would bring in critical tax revenue and new business opportunities for Pennsylvanians. This proposal is estimated to generate $14.8 million in General Fund revenues in FY 2024-25 with proceeds from the tax to be deposited into an Adult Use Cannabis Restricted Account. </p><p>“I’m pleased that Governor Shapiro has made adult-use legislation a priority for fiscal year 2024-25," said Senator Street. "Our goal is to implement a just and equitable adult-use program in Pennsylvania which can only be accomplished through bi-partisanship, which is why the conversations we are having on Planting Seeds are so essential. “The time to end the prohibition of cannabis in Pennsylvania has come. It is critical we provide accurate education surrounding cannabis reform and what it means for the residents of Pennsylvania. This podcast provides a unique opportunity for our community to be in the passenger’s seat during the process.”</p><p>“There are so many important aspects to consider when a state seeks to expand cannabis access, from public safety to reparative efforts,” said Joe Hodas, CMO of Wana Brands. “I have had the privilege to work in the cannabis industry for over a decade. While we witness Pennsylvania’s efforts to become the 25th state to enact a regulated recreational cannabis program, it is compelling to consider the potential and pitfalls of the states that came before.”</p><ul></ul><p><b><a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://cannabisradio.com/audio/10986/665348">Episode One</a>:</b> In the “Planting Seeds” inaugural conversation, Sen. Street and Hodas discuss the challenges of successfully passing legislation and the ongoing stigma and misinformation that still surrounds cannabis for some stakeholders.</p><ul><li>Senator Street on dispelling historical misinformation: “We have legislators who are still talking about the ‘Reefer Madness’ movie … The reality is that we know that addiction to serious drugs like opioids and narcotics goes down when you move toward cannabis legalization.”</li></ul><p><b>Episode Two:</b> Senator Street and Hodas provide an overview of the Pennsylvania Cannabis Decriminalization Bill 1028, which would reduce the charge for possession of small amounts of marijuana to a summary offense.</p><ul></ul><ul><li>Senator Street on the importance of moving this bill through the Pennsylvania General Assembly: “First of all, decriminalization and legalization are not the same thing. Decriminalization is moving recreational cannabis use from being a serious criminal offense to–in most cases–a summary offense. The idea is we don’t need to be filling our jails with people who haven’t done anything other than use cannabis for personal use. It’s a drain on taxpayers’ money.”</li></ul><ul></ul><p><b>Episode Three</b>: Hodas interviews journalist Tauhid Chappel on his work educating newsrooms about how to approach cannabis reporting.</p><ul><li>Chappel on the challenges of reporting on cannabis in a fair and balanced light: “Changing the culture and perception inside a newsroom and working with colleagues who have those areas of authority to make those decisions, especially editorially, is a very hard game. It’s a very long game of trying to address those internal biases and stigmas that ultimately show up in the final product of a newspaper or TV show or digital article. So it really comes down to educating internally and me having to talk to my colleagues and providing and passing on the same information that really unlocked my own mind.”</li></ul><p> </p><p>Democrat Sen. Street is co-sponsor along with Republican State Sen. Dan Laughlin of the Laughlin-Street Bipartisan Adult Use Marijuana Legalization Bill currently under consideration in the Pennsylvania state legislature. More information on the legislation can be found at <a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://www.senatorsharifstreet.com/adultuse">Adult Use Cannabis (senatorsharifstreet.com)</a>. The bill prioritizes safety, and social and economic equity, as well as engages Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry in a way that ensures the vitality of Pennsylvania’s world-class medical cannabis industry while creating thousands of jobs and generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenue. </p><p> </p><p>As the chief marketing officer of Wana Brands and a longtime marketing professional in the cannabis industry, Hodas brings an experienced and inquisitive perspective to the conversations. Together, the co-hosts are joined by a variety of stakeholders to discuss all aspects of cannabis decriminalization and legalization and the establishment of a recreational market – including cultivation, manufacturing, safety, regulation, and social equity. </p><p><b>About "<a rel="sponsored nofollow" href="https://cannabisradio.com/audio/10986/665348">Planting Seeds with Senator Sharif Street</a>"</b><br></p><p>"Planting Seeds with Senator Sharif Street" is a thought-provoking podcast that delves into the multifaceted world of cannabis.
